There is nothing that you can do CHROME OS inspite of browsing the net.
Don't download it until you have Google.com Email ID (not gmail), I downloaded and installed it, and there is nothing special in it.

^Did you manage to make it work on VBox? I saw the network icon(on VBox) at the bottom running, but Chrome OS doesn't connect to the internet..

75% more.. it sux to have a bad internet..
hmmm, i wanted to test it before giving more critics as a normal user not a developer/coder or something.
They better improved the UI in the future bcoz it looks ugly to me.
edit: Darn it. I give up.. Ican can't make Chrome OS to connect the internet using VirtualBox.. It needs Google account to login and that requires internet.

Yesterday was the announcement/overview for Google Chrome OS and today it was leaked inside TPB and compiled as a VMware Image.

Sounds like someone is going to test it - not me

If you're aching to try out Chrome OS after taking a glimpse earlier today, friendly power user Mark Renouf has compiled a VMware image of Chrome OS for testing out in your virtual machine environment. While Chrome OS is far from ready for the regular user, lots of us are aching to play around a little with Google's young operating system. This virtual machine-friendly build looks like a good way to do just that, and you can grab it via BitTorrent now. From The Pirate Bay page:
Update: Alternately, you can download a VMware build directly from web site gdgt as well, "no strings attached" (as long as you don't consider creating an account at gdgt and giving them your email address "strings").
This is a ChromeOS image converted to VMware .vmdk file.
It was built from instructions provided on the ChromiumOS developers site:
http://sites.google....ld-instructions
Built from sources retreived on 11/19/2009, following the announcement of the opening of the ChromeOS source code.
Shared user password (for sudo, etc is 'chromeos')
If you give it a download and try it out, let's hear how it worked for you (and share any images you manage to grab) in the comments.It was built from instructions provided on the ChromiumOS developers site:
